URI HASKIN, OF GHATTANOOGA, TENN I IMPROVEMENT IN CARBURTER GAS-MACHINES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 150,570, dated May 5, 1874; application filed February 6, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, URI HAsKIN, of Chatl tanooga, in the county of Hamilton and in the State of Tennessee, have invented cer- `tain new and usefullmprovements in Gas- Machines, and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a gas-machine, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertainsy to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings.l

Figure l is a side elevation of my entire machine, part in section. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the watertank, and Fig. 4-is a horizontal section of the evaporator.

A represents a shallow rectangular tank of any suitable dimensions, provided with interior longitudinal vertical partitions B B, al-

. bureted-hydrogen gas. Upon the tank or carbureter A is placed a' suitable casin g, E, upon the bottom of which is located a water-tank, C, having a central vertical partition, D, forming two chambers, C] and G2. G represents the air-inlet pipe, passing from the outside into the chamber Cl of the water-tank, and within the same it extends vertically upward t0 near the top of the tank. G1 is a vertical pipe in the chamber G1, extending from near the top thereof to the bottom, through the partition l) into the chamber C2, and vertically upward in the same to near the top thereof. Gr2 is the air-discharge pipe, leading from near the top of the chamber C2 through the side thereof, and through the exterior casing E into the carbureter A at one end of the zigzag passage a. Within the chambersV Cl C2 are suspended receivers H1 H2, respectively, which surround the pipes in said cham bers. These receivers are suspended, respect= ively, upon or from pivoted levers Il I2, provided upon their other ends with adjustable weights J1 J 2, and all arranged above the water-tank G within the casing E. The lever I1 is connected by a cord, d, with a lever, K, pivotedto a suitable standard on top of the case E. The other end of this lever has a curved edge, as shown, and is provided with a notch, e. It acts as a detent against friction-rollers t' t' upon the end of a reel, L, which is also mounted on the top of the case E. f

is a cord or chain wound around the reel, and,

passing over a pulley, It, yat a suitable elevation above the machine, has a weight, M, attached to it. To the side of the receiver H1 is attached a plate, m, from which a rod, u, extends up through the top of the case E, and connects with a pivoted regulating-lever, N,

pressed by a spring, p, against the opposite end of the reel L. In this end of the reel are inserted pins x, against which the. lever is to work. These pins are beveled on one side, and the end of the regulating-lever is similarly beveled on the under edge to allow of the cord or chain f being wound up on the reel. O is the pipe conveying the gas to the burners.

The machine being wound up, and the tank A supplied with the requisite amount of gasoline or other suitable hydrocarbon liquid, the lever K is rocked up and down four times dur-Vv ing each revolution of the reel L. Each roller ,as it enters the notch e, brings this end of the lever down,'raising the receiver H1, and as soon as the roller passes out of the notch the receiver Hl falls of its own weight.

During the upward movementpof the receiver it acts as a suction-pump to draw air in through the pipe G, and during its downward movement it forces the air. previously drawn in, through the pipe G1, into the receiver H2, which rises from the pressure of the air. As the receiver H1 is again elevated, the receiver H2, overbalancin g the pressure of the air, passes downward, and forces the air through the pipe Gr2 into the carbureter A, where it passes through the zigzag passage c, and becomes thoroughly oarbureted, and passes out of' the pipe O in the forni of illuminating-gas.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The counterbalanced receivers H1 H2, suspended from the pivoted levers Il l2, and operating in combination with the Water-tank C and pipes G G1 G2, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

2. The combination, with the receiver H1 and pivoted lever I1, of the lever or det-ent K,

with notch c, regulating-lever N, with spring` p, reel L, With rollers and pins the cord or chain f, and. Weight M, all substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

Intestimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 8th day of January, 1873.

URI HASVKIN.
